[Dixielandjazz] More Jazz Musicians who carried Guns.

[Don Ingle]

Frank Trambauer carried a gun in his music briefcase, my dad related, in 
the time both were working for Goldkwette.  He was from Kansas City and 
that was still almost a wild west town at the time he was entered the 
business and was a rough town. Trumpeter George Rock carried a colt 
frontier six shooter in the days when he was on Spike Jones' band same 
time my dad was. As for that, dad and I carried shotguns in the car when 
on the road in the fall, and on off days we would go quail and pheasant 
hunting. The rest of the year we carried fly rods and fished every trout 
stream we got a chance to. Made the road a bit less daunting.

and taste like mud) Ingle
